The Three Minute Breathing Space

Sit in an upright position with a straight posture. Breath in and out slowly, your belly rising on the in-breath. Examine your body sensations from your toes to your head. What emotions are present? What thoughts are you aware of?

Return your focus to your breathing. Feel your stomach rise slowly on the in-breath and fall on the out breath.

Become aware of the entirety of your body and the sensations within it whilst slowly inhaling and exhaling.
